Butterflies

When ever I see the butterflies flying I am reminded of your smiling face, As I see them taking wing into the sky I feel emotions which are never displaced For deep in my heart also live the butterflies As they come to life within my heart each day While I count the many sweet memories of you Which in my thoughts and dreams now stay The sheer brilliance of their many vibrant colors Produce a vivid rainbow deep within my mind Which fills my heart with such an unwavering joy Allowing me to enjoy them for endless times And the butterflies will be my dearest treasure Leaving me never again quite feeling the same For the peace they bring can never be measured As on their wings are gently imprinted your name.
